English translation
2747. Abū Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Indeed Allāh loves sneezing and He dislikes the yawn. So when one of you sneezes and says 'Al-Hamdulillah (All praise is due to Allāh),' then it is a right due from every one who hears him to say: 'Yarḥamukallāh (May Allāh have mercy upon you)'. As for yawning, then when one of you yawns let him suppress it as much as possible and not say: 'Hāh Hāh' for that is only from Ash-Shaitān laughing at him." (Sahih) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Sahih. This is more correct than the narration of Ibn 'Ajlan, and Ibn Abī Dhi'b is better at preserving the narrations of Sa'eed Al-Maqburī and more reliable than Ibn 'Ajlan. [He said:] I heard Abū Bakr Al-'Aṭṭār Al-Baṣrī mentioning from 'Alī bin Al-Madīnī (that he reported) from Yahyā bin Sa'eed, who said: "Muḥammad bin 'Ajlan said: '(As for) the narrations of Sa'eed Al-Maqburī; some of them were reported by Sa'eed from Abū Hurairah, and some of them were reported by Sa'eed from a man, from Abū Hurairah, so that caused some confusion for me, so I made them: 'From Sa'eed, from Abū Hurairah.'"
